So this video came across my feed and it started me wondering some things:

I don't really read Marvel anymore, my son does though. So I still end up talking with him and the owners of the store we go to about the titles. There appears to be a trend lately where more people (Local to me), are backing away from Marvel titles, except for Deadpool, which even my wife reads.
Can you all tell me if this trend is happening elsewhere?
What is marvel doing with stuff like this? Is it happening in all of their titles?
Is this a byproduct of Disney, or what?
Thank you for your time.

Thank you for the response.
Yea, my son doesn't read Angela. He was wanting to read Thor though, and when he saw Thor as a woman, he wanted to read it, so we bought the first issue, he lost interest after that.
I tend to let him chose what he reads, within reason, he really wants to read "Redhood and the Outlaws", but yea, he needs to be a shade older than 12 before he dives into that area.....
Right now we stick to the Flash, Mega Man, Teen Titans, and Justice League. A few Spider Verse titles if he likes the cover, but he really only gets those for the covers. Honestly, we scaled back after Secret Wars, it just wasn't good, and as you mentioned, WAY to many titles to buy at a time when we are pretty much broke.
He would like to read X-Men and a few others, but with shenangians like this, I can't really justify them right now. Nor do I want to reward bad writing with my money.
